Only 1 Spot Remains Autumn in the New England – Landscape Photography Workshop April/May 2026
New England Autumn Photography Workshop – Only One Spot Remaining
Gostwyck Chapel
Written By John Armytage
There’s something truly special about autumn in the New England region of NSW. As the leaves turn rich shades of gold, amber, and crimson, this stunning part of the country becomes one of Australia’s most photogenic landscape photography destinations.
Our New England Autumn Photography Workshop is now almost sold out, with just one place remaining. If you’ve been considering joining us, now is the time — this workshop will sell out.
Autumn Colours around the Gostwyck Chapel
Capture the Best Autumn Colours in New England NSW
Based around Armidale and the New England Tablelands, this workshop has been strategically scheduled for peak autumn colour.
You’ll photograph:
• The iconic Gostwyck Chapel, framed by glowing golden elm trees
• Classic New England landscapes filled with autumn tones
• Beautiful waterfalls surrounded by seasonal foliage
• Tree-lined country roads, heritage locations, and tranquil rural scenes

Every location has been carefully chosen for light, composition, and seasonal impact, ensuring you return home with a strong, diverse autumn portfolio.
Photograph With Like-Minded Creatives
This workshop is designed for photographers who value learning in a relaxed, small-group environment.
Learning out in the field - Some locations chosen as we drive by due to perfect light
You’ll be shooting alongside like-minded photographers, sharing ideas, encouragement, and inspiration. There’s no rush — just time to:
• Slow down and work each scene
• Refine compositions in the field
• Learn from one another
• Enjoy being back outdoors with your camera

A little bit crazy ;-)
It’s incredibly encouraging to see photographers getting back out into the field, reconnecting with nature and creativity.
Learn in the Field + Group Editing Sessions
Phil working his magic
This is far more than simply visiting great locations.
You’ll benefit from:
• In-field tuition covering composition, camera settings, and light
• Guidance on photographing autumn colour and waterfalls
• Group editing sessions, encouraging shared learning and discussion
• Practical post-processing techniques you can apply immediately
• Supportive feedback to help you grow in confidence and skill
These group editing sessions are consistently a highlight of the workshop experience.

One of my recent Google Reviews (Thanks so much Ron)
2 months ago
There are a multitude of people offering photography workshops. What sets John Armytage workshops apart from other workshops is the personal attention given to each participant and warmth and humour involved in providing knowledge. I have had the pleasure of shooting on many occasions over a period of more than 10 years with John, always in a wonderful environment for learning and enjoying the process. You will not regret joining John for a focussed based photography workshop.
